Apron / Perimeter

Airfields, runways and aprons are all extremely high risk, and it is vitally important to ensure no unauthorized access to these areas.

Wide-area surveillance allows cameras to be used to create a barrier or zone around a certain area, be it a fence, a building or simply an open area. Rules can then be applied to these zones – perhaps used to purely identify what is in that area (cars, trucks, people, planes etc.) and these could be graphically shown on the display, providing an easy overview.

A simple rule could be a car or truck can be in a certain area, but a person walking cannot. In the most sensitive areas, such as an airport perimeter, anything going into that area would be not permitted.

If something violates the rules within a certain zone, an alarm would be triggered and the camera or cameras looking at the area would be automatically displayed to the operator.

The advantage is operators do not have to look at a wall of monitors, at hundreds of cameras – they just look at one display showing all the necessary information. The name of this system is Siveillance™ SiteIQ Wide Area.
